At The Door Escape Room, we are closely monitoring the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation on a constant basis. Escape room fans can now play their favourite activity from the comfort of their own homes during the coronavirus lockdown.

Our hearts go out to those in the local community and around the world have been impacted. Escape rooms are very popular with groups who love a challenge, but due to the coronavirus outbreak, all of them in the UK have closed their doors for the foreseeable. This was my first escape room with 3 of my friends. Great fun was had by all with lots of tricky puzzles to solve. We did this as a family of four.

The reopening of the UK’s most easterly escape rooms will be done as safely as possible following the coronavirus pandemic, their owner has said. We done the Haze Room and it was a great experience with plenty to keep you busy and working a team with great puzzles. $render.recurse($ctx, '$content.code.value') Owner and game-master at Prestige Escape Rooms in Lowestoft, Francesca Dixon-Grant.
